Description

Product overview

The Cisco MDS 9700 48-Port 32-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module is designed to provide predictable performance, scalability, and innovative features for private and virtualized data centers. With a total of 768 line-rate 32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports per director, this module meets the high-performance demands of flash-memory and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over Fibre Channel workloads.

1. Scalability and Consolidation: The module allows administrators to scale and consolidate SAN deployments by reducing the number of hardware components required. This helps streamline the SAN infrastructure and reduces complexity.

2. Built-in Analytics Engine: The module includes a built-in analytics engine that can analyze real-time Fibre Channel exchanges and provide detailed metrics. This enables comprehensive monitoring of performance problems among SAN edge devices, allowing administrators to quickly identify and address potential issues.

3. On-Board Network Processing Unit (NPU): The module features an on-board NPU that can compute I/O-level metrics at every switch. This allows for monitoring of all flows on all ports at line rate. Metrics such as exchange completion time, IOPS, throughput, and latency can be captured to gain insights into SAN performance.

4. Hot-Swappable and Compatible: The module is hot swappable and compatible with various Fibre Channel interfaces, including 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-Gbps. It also supports hot-swappable Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) transceivers, providing flexibility and ease of use.

5. Buffer Credits and Link Bandwidth: Each port on the module supports 500 buffer credits, which can be expanded to 8191 with the Cisco Enterprise Package license. This allows for exceptional extensibility and full link bandwidth utilization over long distances.

6. Comprehensive Features: The module offers a range of features including predictable performance, high availability, advanced traffic management capabilities, integrated VSAN and IVR, resilient high-performance ISLs, hardware-assisted slow-drain support, comprehensive security frameworks, fault detection, isolation of errored packets, and sophisticated diagnostics. These features contribute to the overall reliability and performance of the SAN.

Main features

1. Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with SAN Consolidation: Offers industry-leading port density, high performance, exceptional capabilities with intelligent fabric services, and features such as VSANs and IVR for SAN consolidation.

2. Enterprise-Class Availability: Delivers high availability and reliability, meeting the requirements of mission-critical environments.

3. Virtual Machine-Aware SAN Deployment: Provides end-to-end visibility from virtual machines to storage devices, enabling rapid troubleshooting in virtualized environments.

4. Advanced Traffic Management: The module simplifies deployment and optimization of large-scale fabrics through advanced traffic management capabilities such as Virtual Output Queue (VOQ), buffer-to-buffer credits, port channels, and QoS.

5. Advanced Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Tools: Integrates proactive diagnostics, online diagnostics, and network traffic analysis tools to simplify the management of storage networks.

6. Comprehensive Solution for Robust Security: Offers an extensive security framework to protect sensitive data crossing enterprise networks.

7. Integrated Mainframe Support: Provides full support for IBM System z Fibre Connection (FICON) and Linux environments, supporting transport of the FICON protocol and a mix of FICON and open-systems Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) traffic.
